And let's end the spying on our own citizens. End PRISM; end the Patriot Act. End it right here, right now.

I wish I could go back in time to the ticker when Rudy and Dutch and Sniffit and Dominican and Lynda and rs were defending this guy and his testimony. Perhaps this will help you become more aware that the dems are just a bunch of liars thirsting for more power and money and are no better than the repubs.

I always believe there are two things you never ask if you are looking for a straight answer: Never ask about a person's sex live and never ask the spy chief about spying.

If it were a public session, then why would he say it? Most, if not all National Security Briefings need to be done behind closed doors.

Bill from GA

Congress authorized these 'spying' actions with their blanket approvals of various updates to the "PATRIOT" Act. I'm sure Clapper was under oath (not the one to the House; the one to the Government of the USA) not to reveal details of what 'spying" was done.

For Congress to question Clapper for activities some previous Congress authorized is more governmental Dog & Pony Showtime.
Give Americans Some Comedy. Let's see our Congress In Action. Ask one of our Chief Spies about some secret info, and see if he talks.

Maybe It is time to reexamine the Patriot Act. But there is little chance the current Congress can get ANYTHING worthwhile done for our Country; they are all about their party.
